Ba Ke Yun shook his head and showed a bitter smile. He didn’t want to refuse his savior, but he knew well that he had offended the First Family, and his latter half of life would never be peaceful.
Logan was confused, but Ba Ke Yun explained: “Benefactor, if one day the First Family stops chasing me, let alone serve as your guard for three years, I would not mind serving you for a lifetime.”
“Just this little thing? I’ve already taken care of it for you, no need to worry about being hunted anymore.”
Logan chuckled. He had to admit that Ba Ke Yun was a kind person for considering this, but it also proved that he hadn’t made a mistake in judging people. Such a person would be safe as a subordinate.
Unbelievable, Ba Ke Yun made a deep bow: “I don’t even know how to express my gratitude for you giving your life to save me. I’m willing to follow you, even through fire and water.”
“Willing to follow will do, but don’t call me senior, your realm is even higher than mine. I’m just a mid-level transcendent, the reason why those guys retreated, is not something I can easily tell.”
Logan smiled lightly and continued: “But I have to say in advance, the enemies I have provoked are very strong, being hunted is a norm. If you choose to be my guard, you might experience life-and-death situations.”
“If it were not for you, I would be lifeless by now. Besides, I see everything lightly. I used to live just to take revenge on the Grand Elder. Now, I live to repay your grace.”
Ba Ke Yun spoke righteously, regardless of how far Logan’s realm had come, he saved his life and it was a hard fact. The popular saying goes, ‘A drop of water should be returned with a burst of a spring’, let alone the grace of saving a life. If he abandoned Logan, he would despise himself.
“Very well. Since you have become my guard, I can’t let you suffer a loss. After three years, I will definitely increase your realm. To save your life earlier, I used a Law Dan Medicine. This medicine not only saved your life, but the remaining medicinal power has also been stored in your body.”
After Logan let Ba Ke Yun feel for himself, Ba Ke Yun discovered what he had said was true. He was overwhelmed with shock. The surge of power in his body was so strong that he couldn’t digest it at once. It would take up to a month and he might even break the threshold to the throne.
If it were before, Ba Ke Yun would have thought Logan only saved his life. Now he understands how great this favor is. It was such a big opportunity that he could hardly bear it. Because he knew how rare a Law Dan Medicine was, even those in the Throne Realm might not have it.
Logan waved his hand, letting Ba Ke Yun let go of the formalities. Since he was his own guard, there was no need to be polite. This was just the beginning, and there would surely be more opportunities for him in the future.
Logan had understood that in this copied world, a person fighting alone was too weak. Even if his own strength was strong enough, there were always stronger ones out there, weren’t there? So, he had to find a few trustworthy helpers who could make him invincible.
Logan dusted himself off and turned to Ba Ke Yun: “Let’s go. I still have to go back to the Capital City to see the Lord. You can come with me. And I’m setting a deadline for you, break through to the throne within half a year.”
“Don’t worry, with the effect of this Law Dan Medicine, I don’t think it will take half a year, one month is enough.”
Ba Ke Yun said confidently, if it were his past self, even if he had spent ten years, he might not reach the Throne Realm. After all, too many people spent their whole lives and got stuck at Transcendent Realm, just like he once thought, he would be in the high-level transcendent for this life.
But a Law Dan Medicine, even if a Dominating Realm came, it would be an irresistible temptation. Just by digesting its surging medicinal power, breaking through to the Throne would be a matter of course.
The two of them hurried on with their journey. After three hours, they finally arrived back in the Capital City. However, at this moment, the city was in a state of panic, and there was not a single person to be seen on the main street.
All this because of the Grand Elder, everyone was afraid of being involved with him, thereby bringing the First Family’s revenge. Those with stronger powers could seek protection from the Lord who would ensure their safety, but those with weaker cultivation realms, the Lord simply ignored and wouldn’t accept as disciples.
In just the past three days, almost ten thousand people had been arrested by the First Family after some investigations. Among them were many people who had no connection whatsoever with the Grand Elder. They had just exchanged a few words with the disciples and were tied together, directly pulled out to be executed forcibly.
Looking at this gloomy situation, Logan shook his head in regret: “They’re putting the cart before the horse. To deal with the remnants of the Grand Elder, they’ve stirred up a storm, making everyone anxious? It seems like they’ve solved a big hidden danger, but in reality, they’ve added hatred to everyone’s hearts.”
“Who wouldn’t say so? Although I once hated the Grand Elder very much, I knew a hard fact in my heart, it was the Grand Elder who had been doing evil and sheltering some bully people. But more people were innocent, they had to become disciples under him due to the threat from the Grand Elder.”
Ba Ke Yun sighed deeply, feeling confused why the Lord had always been indulging the First Family. Did the First Family want to make the situation untenable, making everyone have no way out? He was just a transcendental being with little say in matters, otherwise, he would have advised the Lord.
Logan smirked, “Don’t worry, I will clarify the pros and cons to the Lord to prevent an irreversible situation just because of the Grand Elder.”
When they arrived in the Capital City, they were stopped by a dozen guards at the palace gate. However, Logan took out his pass card, given by the Lord, which allowed him to go anywhere within his territory. The guards recognized it and respectfully let Logan through.
When Logan walk into the palace and after some searching without finding the Lord, he had to ask someone else to pass the message. Afterward, he met the Lord in the Grand Hall, who was beaming and seemed to look ten years younger. Upon seeing Logan, he was even more enthusiastic.
Ignoring everyone else, he walked straight up: “Logan, let me host a welcome party for you. Let’s have a drink together, just the two of us.” Everyone was shocked by this, the Lord was doing this with a junior?
Logan was also stunned, although the Lord was nice to him before, he had always been showing an aloof attitude. He had never been this friendly, treating him as an equal, even calling him a brother. It meant that he really recognized him now.
They went to the Side Hall, where everything was ready. The Lord specially let Logan sit in the honored guest seat, while he didn’t take the main seat, but sat beside Logan and personally filled a glass for him.
Logan wasn’t pleased because the Lord was only caught up in his happiness and did not notice that a crisis was brewing.
